    Why is the bike computer displaying no or incorrect speed?

    No speed displayed:

    - Is the computer correctly fastened into the bracket?
    - Are the contacts on the bracket/bike computer oxidized/corroded?
    - Has the sleeve been pushed over the magnet?
    - Has the clip-on cover (bearing the word SIGMA) been mounted facing outwards (this can possibly make the gap between the magnet and the sensor too large)? – Image of power magnet
    - The gap between the magnet and the transmitter is too large max. 5 mm for the standard magnet and max. 12 mm for the power magnet.
    - Is the magnet still magnetized? To test, hold the magnet against a metal object. If the magnet is not attracted to the object, it is no longer magnetized.
    - For ATS and/or STS bike computers, check the battery status of the speed transmitter.

    Incorrect speed displayed:

    - Are two magnets attached to the spokes?
    - Is the magnet correctly positioned? The magnet should always be positioned parallel and centrally to the transmitter.
    - Is the wheel size correctly set? To set the wheel size, please see the operating instructions or the section "Entering the wheel size".
    - For STS speed transmitters and bike computers with automatic second bike detection, is the speed transmitter set to the right bike?

    Can I change the battery myself without voiding the warranty?
